Okay, this is utterly frustrating. I ditched Internet Explorer (IE) for FireFox becoz stupid IE was popping up when the page was fully loaded. So at the end, whenever I am typing something else, the IE window will just block me. So I switched to FireFox, which is better and it supports Tab Browsing. Unfortunately, I seems like I am the only one with this problem; the FireFox will not work with few websites correctly, including Yahoo! Mail and Blogger website (which is ironic becoz Blogger was recommending FireFox).
And then I downloaded Maxthon, which is a feature-rich browser base on the IE engine. It looks good and it supports Tab Browsing. The so-called PassCard was a feature that will save all the login name and password for you, so next time when you load up Yahoo! Mail or Hotmail, you don’t have to type anything anymore. Yet, it won’t work well with Gmail so can you see where I am going from this?
There is a lack of standard platform where people can basically browse through some websites without a hitch. Unfortunately, due to the advancement in technology, our requirements are getting higher and higher. Nowadays there are ActiveX, Java Runtime, etc and sometimes those web developer just had to add in a lot of things, so now I use IE for certain websites that I know won’t work well with FireFox.
Browser is not the only thing that seems to be lost in the standard. DVD and the new format is the same. There is a DVD-RAM, and then DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD-R, and DVD+R. So what the fuck is the difference? For those movie type DVD, there’s BlueRay (from Sony) and HD-DVD (or so-called Hi-Definition DVD). A quick tour at the Google site found this: DVD Format Explained. I mean, I am glad there’s a definition, but why make things to confusing in the first place? All these technologeek things are suppose to make our live easier, but it seems like the intention was completely off. Now we have to ponder what the fuck is DVD+RW, and which one to choose. Too much time are spent on doing this pointless research and figuring out which one is better.
In Hokkien saying, Lanpa Palan, and it means “basically it’s the same thingâ€.
Some standard, anyone, please?
